B.1.1 Getting the gawk
Distribution
There are three ways to get GNU software:
- Copy it from someone else who already has it.
-
Retrieve
gawk
from the Internet hostftp.gnu.org
, in the directory ‘/gnu/gawk’. Both anonymousftp
andhttp
access are supported. If you have thewget
program, you can use a command like the following:wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-4.0.0.tar.gz
The GNU software archive is mirrored around the world. The up-to-date list of mirror sites is available from the main FSF web site. Try to use one of the mirrors; they will be less busy, and you can usually find one closer to your site.
